It couldn't happen here

Saw this site in a blog post: http://www.hireahubby.com.au Interesting concept. Has anyone here ever used their services? |

Oohhh...no, but I'm going to now! I have a few things I need help with. I usually do everything on my own, but it's a bit difficult to hang a door by yourself.
 Thanks for that! |

Oh my God, I totally need this!!!! The list of things in my apt that need fixed is increasing rapidly- and unfortunately none of them are things the landlord is responsible for. I just keep putting them off because I keep telling myself I can do it myself, I don't need a man- but alas, that is not completely true. Does anyone take the slightest offense though to the name?! I realize I just admitted above that I really can't fix some things myself, but still- it implies that no woman can fix things and if you're single, you have to "hire a husband" to do it for you! I'm not trying to be dramatic, it doesn't really bother me, I just think it's an interesting point to ponder. |

Naw. I enjoy it. After I made an online "booking" for it, I went out and told Nick that he's fired! :mrgreen:

Actually this IS a good idea. Not to hire or anything but I'll be looking for work when I get overseas and I enjoy the hands-on kinda work so I'm thinking this might be right up my alley. |

I sure see their vans a lot here in Perth! Either there's quite a few of them or the same one is following me :mrgreen: They're at Bunnings a lot, buying stuff. I think it's a fantastic idea :goodonya: |
